Setting the
Record Straight
THE EDITOR,
Congratulations to Dorene Car
diff on her opinion page picture of
horses relaxing in the spring sun
(May 25).
Does anyone remember the
rules of the old game “white
horse’’? We used to play it in the
car on long trips like our annual
outings to Niagara Falls, the Ex or
the Elora Gorge.
There were points for each white
horse seen on each player’s side of
the car and points deducted for
black horses and cemeteries.
Mrs. Kathryn Lamb
Kitchener.
Is Freemasonry A Secret Organization?
Absolutely not. Where and when Masons meet
is public knowledge, as are their objectives and
activities. The only "secrets" are the ways in which
Masons recognize each other.
Is Freemasonry Some Sort of Religion?
It is not a religion and the subject is never dis
cussed at Masonic meetings. A Mason must have a
belief in a Supreme Being, but his particular faith or
creed is a personal and private matter.
Are Masons Obliged to Help Each Other in Business?
No, Freemasonry is not organized for member
profit, career enhancement or political advantage. Its
purpose is to teach morality, encourage charity and
practice worldwide brotherly love.
Do Masons Ever Discuss the Order with Nonmasons?
Yes, Masons welcome opportunities to talk about
Masonry. As a policy, they do not solicit new members
but are always ready to respond to those interested in
becoming a member.
If you have other questions or would like to know more,
talk to a Mason. Or write to our Grand Lodge Office on
King Street West in Hamilton fora pamphlet outlining
our activities, objectives and history. The mailing
address is:
The Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada
